Fix: Telegram "Bad Request: chat not found" Error in Revive Social
If your sharing logs show Telegram sendPhoto API Error: 400 Bad Request: chat not found, Telegram is rejecting the destination chat. This usually means the Group or Channel value is incorrect, or the bot does not have access to that channel/group yet.
Checklist to fix the error
- Open your Telegram connection in Revive Social and check the Group or Channel field.
- Use one of these supported values:
- A public channel username, for example
@ReviveSocialChannel. - A numeric group/chat ID, for example
-4693316015.
- A public channel username, for example
- Confirm the Token is for the same bot you added to that destination channel/group.
- Check bot access in Telegram:
- For channels: Add the bot as an admin and allow Post Messages.
- For groups: Make sure the bot has joined the group and you are using that group's correct numeric ID.
- Save the connection, reconnect if needed, and test sharing again.
📝 Note: If Telegram Web does not let you add the bot correctly, try adding it from the Telegram mobile app.
